Seems great, right? Public data is plentiful online, we can just download tons of it, pretrain our models with this public data, and do fine-tuning privately! Privacy is solved! Of course not, and we highlight three (orthogonal) considerations for these settings. 5/n

Pre-training ImageNet Fine-tuning CIFAR-10 Privacy
By
–
The good news is, public data can help dramatically! Pre-training on ImageNet (without privacy constraints) and fine-tuning on CIFAR-10 (privately) gets us up to 95%+ (figure from the same paper). Takes it from bad (and in some cases, unusable) to pretty good! 3/n

RLHF automates human evaluation and generates tuning data
By
–
Later, reinforcement learning was used to automate the task of human evaluation as well. This yielded a endless fountain of tuning data that could be produced entirely by machine — a process known as RLHF.
-

Tuning models on filtered self-generations for smarter AI
By
–
By tuning the model on its own generations, filtered to those deemed perfect by human evaluators, greater volumes of data could be used, yielding a more intelligent and obedient model.

Random Initialization Achieving 94% Accuracy in Classification
By
–
If you can find a random initialization that by coincidence happens to get >94% of 60,000 10-class classification decisions correct then yes, that counts.

Instruction tuning merges human will into AI controlled by awkward kid
By
–

Instruction tuning / RLHF is technically a Human Instrumentality Project, merging the preferences of countless humans to form an oversized, living amalgam of our will. We then hand control of it to a random, socially awkward kid and hope for the best.
